SQ_ENSON.DK Help File
Loading in the file SQ_ENSON.DK will setup Band-in-a-Box for the Ensoniq
SQ1 and SQ2 multi-timbral synthesizers.
It will setup:
1. Drum #'s for the Ensoniq SQ series All Purpose Kit (Patch 89).
2. Patch Map for the Ensoniq SQ series synths.
3. Startup Patches and Channels in the Midi Settings Window.

Your SQ has to be setup to receive in a Multi-timbral fashion,meaning the
ability to play more than one sound at a time. The SQ has its own built-in
sequencer which has eight tracks. In making songs on the SQ,you first put
together seperate sequences that will later be compiled into a song format.
This is where setting up a Multi-timbral patch comes into play. Multi-
timbral setups are done in a sequence patch using the TRACK buttons (1-8) as
if you were about to sequence something from within the SQ.

Ensoniq SQ Setup Instructions:
-Choose SELECT to find an unused sequence preset.Name it Band in a Box.
-Choose TRACK PARAMETER to get to STATUS.Select MIDI.
-Select the BLUE EDIT button. Press TRACK 1 button.Select TRACK PARAMETER.
-Scroll through to select MIDI/SOUND/and Volume settings.
-Using TRACK buttons 1 through 8 and the above command do the following:

Bass Piano Drums Guitar Horns Strings Melody Thru
Track- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Midi - 2 3 10 7 8 6 4 5
Volume- 75 60 99 99 99 99 75 99
Sound-Bank 6-0 1-1 8-9 3-5 4-7 1-7 3-5 3-5

All that needs to be done now is load the file SQ_ENSON.DK from the MIDI
pulldown menu(Load Alternate Drum/Midi Set) and you're ready to have fun
with Band-in-a-Box!
If you have a sequencer,we recommend saving these settings as a System
Exclusive File which can later be transmitted back to your SQ via Band-in-a-
Box should your synth settings change.
Have Fun!
